The road to Phnom Pehn

From Siem Reap, the distance to Phnom Pehn is approximately 317km. By bus or train you can expect to pay around $7-$10 USD for the four hour trip. The road is all surfaced now and most of the busses feature air-conditioning. There is a daily boat ride down the battambang. The Battambang trip is seriously scenic, but breakdowns are very common. The Boats from Siem Reap leave from the floating village of Chong Kneas near Phnom Krom, south of Siem Reap. The boats dock in different places based on the time of the year; when the lake recedes in the dry season, both the port and floating village move with it. I imagine this may make it harder to find. Therefore; my trusty rental and I make our way back via road. After phnom Penh it's another 175km back to Thialand.
